you and i will be safe and sound.

A kiss is designed by nature to stop speech when words become superfluous.
~ Ingrid Bergman

I love with all my heart, and while it's a dangerous thing I wouldn't have it any other way.  It's the best feeling in the world to love someone and know that you are loved in return.  That feeling can bring to the highest peak of the tallest mountain.  When it isn't perfect, it brings you down to the lowest valleys.  The way to make it work is just to accept the faults and be willing to work through problems.  Sometimes, it's not that appealing when the whole world seems against you. Maybe too, you think you would be better off without the drama.  But then you have to think to yourself: do you really want to do that? Would you really be happier without them?

For me, the answer is always no.  It will always be no.  I love fully and completely and accept the challenges as they come.  It happens, but nothing is so tragic that it has to ruin the things that make you happy permanently.  It's about working at it, and learning from your mistakes.  It's about knowing that while you aren't perfect, you can still make things better if the other person will give you the chance.  It's about being quiet, stepping away, and then calmly resolving the issues.  This is the best part of my life, and how could anyone choose to live without that?

This is my response to a lot of things that happened last week.

- Lo

stop.

Note to self:
Just stop. STOP. Cut it out already.
It's not about being perfect.
It's not about saying the right thing.
Just learn to say see you later, stop asking if you'll talk later, stop.
Stop being confusing.
Just, for goodness sakes, cut it out.
Say what you're thinking, not what'll make others happy.
Learn to pay attention.
Stop getting flustered.
Just LISTEN.
Learn how to transition from quiet to a normal day.  It's really not hard, so figure it out.
And for God's sake, stop causing arguments every goddamn day. It's not rocket science.
Just be a normal person. It's not hard. Stop worrying so much and being an idiot.
You're just being a stupid fool.  Pull it together before you screw up worse.

...or maybe, you are just that stupid.  Why won't you learn?  What is wrong with you that you can't get it through your head?

Love always,

- Lo
